Actually, I have not been programming much as yet. I expect to find
the libraries that I need within the Ada userland. What I expect to
need, at this early stage, are libraries for text processing, which I
guess are available as native Ada libraries. Then I may need some
basic (client-side) email functionality, and some library that allows
me to retrieve webpages and ftp resources. Any suggestion on these?
